Genesis

They were coming off their biggest commercial success – and headed for a major change.

The summer of 1986 brought Genesis their first No. 1 hit in the United States — and former frontman Peter Gabriel reached the same milestone the very next week.

Some think this is the moment when the band was consumed by their frontman's concurrent solo fame.

He left after a decade and a half splitting time between the band and his solo career.

A new era was clearly beginning.

The upcoming BBC documentary 'Together and Apart' will be paired with another film called 'Sum of the Parts,' set for release in November on DVD, to form a comprehensive history of Genesis.

Two months after Genesis announced a new career-spanning documentary, the band is all set to drop some more news.

Anthony Phillips is upset that the upcoming Genesis documentary has been billed as featuring the "original" line-up.

Although it's not the reunion tour that fans of progressive rock legends Genesis have been hoping for, the band just revealed that they have been working on a big new project together.

They had to succeed in balancing the pastoral whimsy of their first couple of albums with new rock pretensions.
